Yet Another Fucked Up Attempt To Make C What C Is Not

C is not “unsafe” as in “flawed”: it’s designed to fill certain gaps. Its syntactic stability through the decades - as well as its “minimalism” (for a lack of better word) - are among its most important features.

Personally I have been having an hard time trying to figure out why there’s some part of the industry that desperately tries to change what C is in a way or the other.

...but probably I’m just an old Valley fart. Apologies for the rant.
